SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 
AND REMARKS. 



In addition to the above course of studies, (the whole of which, 
or its equivalent, is required for graduation,) those students who 
may desire it will be instructed in the Hebrew, Spanish, French, 
Italian, or German, without any additional charge. 

In the department of Natural Science an extended course of 
lectures is given by the Professor on Mineralogy and Geology, in 
which he is greatly assisted by a well supplied cabinet of specimens, 
many of which were collected several years since, in various 
parts of the United States, by Dr. Durbin, while a Professor in this 
Institution. Lectures are also delivered (occupying the most of the 
collegiate year) on Astronomy and Chemistry, accompanied, 
throughout, by suitable illustrations and experiments. In order, 
however, that students may become intimately conversant with the 
various topics comprehended in the course, we rely chiefly upon 
daily recitations, carefully prepared by the classes from approved 
text-books. 

The students are exercised frequently and thoroughly in the 
practical parts of the Mathematical course, particularly in such 
portions as appertain to Civil Engineering. Besides the advan- 
tages afforded by appropriate apparatus, the Professor having 
charge of those subjects has not only taught them theoretically for 
many years, but has had much experience, in that capacity, in 
connection with public works in different sections of the country, — 
circumstances which cannot fail to render the acquirements of his 
pupils more accurate and available than they otherwise would be. 

The following may be mentioned among the valuable articles of 
apparatus belonging to the Institution: A refracting, acromatic 
Telescope, (London instrument,) with an object-glass of three inches 
diameter, and five feet focal distance, and furnished with eye-glasses 
of various magnifying powers, both for celestial and terrestrial obser- 
vations ; a Planetarium and Tellurium of superior quality ; two com- 

2 



14 

pound Microscopes, one having a magnifying power of more than 
fifty thousand, and the other of about four millions; a portable 
Camera Obscura of unusual magnitude, also, a stationary one, ^ so 
constructed and fitted up as to afford a beautiful and impressive 
illustration of the organization and office of the eye ; a fine Electric 
Machine, with numerous Leyden jars, and other appendages requi- 
site for a full course of experiments in that interesting study ; two 
Galvanic Batteries, one of which contains fifty pairs of zinc and 
copper plates, on a new and improved plan ; an artificial Magnet of 
great power; an Air-pump; Theodolite; Surveyor's Compass; Had- 
ley's Quadrant ; Hare and Silliman's Oxy-hydrogen Blow-pipe, (a 
new and excellent article ;) a Magic Lantern, with from fifty to a 
hundred finely colored diagrams, for illustrating the facts and prin- 
ciples of Astronomy. Without extending this enumeration, it may 
be sufficient to add, that the respective departments are furnished 
with maps, charts, globes, prisms, retorts, crucibles, receivers, gas- 
ometers, tests, (fee, to such an extent as to leave but little to be 
desired, as a means of rendering the course of instruction easy to 
the teacher, and highly attractive and profitable to the student. 

Connected with the Institution are two literary societies — the 
Union and Jefferson — both of which have, for years, been incor- 
porated by the Legislature of the state. In the College edifice two 
spacious apartments are appropriated to their use, which are hand- 
somely furnished, and supplied with valuable libraries of several 
hundred volumes each. These societies not only afford great 
facilities for the improvement of their members, but are regarded 
as excellent auxiliaries to the College authorities in securing the ob- 
servance of good order throughout the Institution generally. The 
College library is also allowed to be used by the students upon the 
payment of an inconsiderable fee. 

The collegiate year is divided into two sessions, of twenty-one 
weeks each ; the Jirst commencing on the second Monday in Octo- 
ber ; and the second, on the first Monday in April. At the termin- 
ation of the first session, there is a vacation of four weeks, and 
at the end of the second, a vacation of six weeks. The Public 
Commencement, for conferring the honors of the College, is held 
on the fourth Friday in August of each year. 

Expenses. — In the Collegiate Department, the tuition fee is $16 
per session; and in the Preparatory Department, $11 per session.

Boarding in the College Refectories, and in the families of the 
village, is $1 50 per week; for boarding, lodging, lights and 
fuel, the price is $2 per week. In no case will it be necessary for 
any student to exceed these amounts for the best accommodations 
the place will afford. During the present session, a number of stu- 
dents have adopted a plan, by which the whDle of their boarding 
bill does not exceed seventy-Jive cents per veek each. On this 
plan they live comfortably, and without any interruption to their 
studies. 

While measures of severity are sometimes rendered indispen- 
sable, the officers of the Institution depend mainly upon affectionate 
and persevering appeals to the intelligence, moral sense, and gen- 
erous sentiments of students, for securing coriect deportment and 
studious habits. Parents and guardians are also frequently corres- 
ponded with by the Faculty, through their Secretary, and particu- 
larly advised of the health, conduct, and proficiency of their sons 
and wards, that their influence may be constantly united with that 
of the Trustees and instructors, in compassing the important objects 
for which students are placed in the Institution. Those who give 
evidence of being incurably idle, insubordinate, or vicious, will, on 
no account, be suffered to remain in the College, as, in such cases, 
a continuance of their connection would be wcrse than useless to 
themselves, and could not fail to be decidedly injirious to others. 

From the healthful location of this Institutior. ; its comparative 
exemption from temptations and facilities to vice and extravagance ; 
its readiness of access from every part of the cauntry ; and from 
the fact that the Trustees are determined to keep its various depart- 
ments filled with competent and faithful instructors, (their resources 
being entirely adequate to this purpose,) it is hoped that it will con- 
tinue to receive, as it hitherto has done, the countenance and patron- 
age of an enlightened community.
